Compliance requirements
The contracting authority checks the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act for the successful bidder. The bidder must confirm that none of those grounds apply and, if necessary, provide explanations of self-cleaning measures. It must also confirm the absence of involvement in the preparation of the procurement, conflicts of interest, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, and previous serious contract breaches or early terminations. In addition, a domestic restriction based on the bidder’s place of residence or establishment applies if the contracting authority has set such a restriction in the procurement documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The hankepass did not contain any qualification or selection criteria. The compliance requirements state that the bid must comply with the tender documents, the price must be submitted in the prescribed structure, and, where relevant, equivalence must be explained and supporting evidence attached. If this is a joint bid, an authorised representative must be appointed and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The bidder must also indicate any business secrets and justify their designation.
